The thing is, it is not just updating the kernel, but other things. Huh, do you use nvidia proprietary drivers? Then you need more files. I have a script modification for that as well. Ok I won't sweat the errors and yes I do use nvidia graphic/video cards... Again many thanks! Marc... Ok!
Create another directory, say "LocalRPMs_15.1-15.2-nvidia"
#!/bin/bash

Provided the nvidia 15.2 repo does exist already, I do not know.
Hi again Carlos, everyone, I fear I need to pick your brains (and all other gurus) a little further, and I apologize for not understanding what is going on with building kernels and their drivers... I am making some guesses here and my communication may not be precise, be wary. I got almost all the way and managed to upgrade the kernel and even managed to almost get it to boot up to the point where the KDE desktop is suppose to show up. The problem I think (BIG guess here) is that the 15.2 repo did not include the same version of the nvidia drivers that I am using in 15.1. I installed the repo as per your suggestion/script and noted that this new repo did not include the drivers for "nvidia-gfxG03-kmp-default - NVIDIA graphics driver kernel module for GeForce 8xxx and newer GPUs", and associated nvidia packages for gfxG03. The new repo did have drivers for gfxG04 and gfxG05 packages which I think are for newer nvidia cards. I have an older GeForce 8500. Not knowing what to do about the fact that there was no gfxG03 packages in the 15.2 repo I chose not to do anything and just leave the nVidia packages as it. That resulted, when I rebooted, and got to the point where the KDE login prompt normally appears, in that all I got was a big fat cursor arrow that I could move around, but nothing more. No login prompt, no desktop, nada. No error messages showed up while I watched the output from all the system startup steps. Other than buying a newer nVidia graphics card, any suggestions? Maybe it is not an nVidia issue but perhaps I need other newer packages such as for the KDE destop with Plasma? I am again just guessing, what do I know? LOL (Thank goodness that the GRUB menu does allow me to reboot back to either the older 15.1 or 42.2 systems, where everything works as before, so I didn't brick my computer!) Thanks again for any more suggestions... Marc.... -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
